Open to fishing all year below Bowman Dam. Rainbow trout over 20 inches are considered steelhead and must be released. Following near a month of spring runoff and high outflows from Bowman Dam, flows have stabilized and anglers report good trout fishing.

Crooked River anglers may encounter bull trout now that there is volitional passage at Opal Springs. Anglers who catch a bull trout should release it unharmed and report their catch to the US Fish and Wildlife Service at crookedbulltrout@fws.gov.
